FOUR PURPLE HANZI and KANJI

Its Jacaranda time in Sydney but Jacaranda is not an Asian Plant.

Its actually an import from South America and yes it is very gorgeously purple an intense hue either dark or light and yes it looks like purple clouds when the trees are blossoming!

So I'm thinking about PURPLE when I look out my window as there are some magnificent trees nearby.

Also I'm thinking about #hanzi and #kanji

The primary word and character for the color purple in East Asian languages that use Sinitic characters or have loan words is surely


however there are a copy of other words 


and also 


finally Japanese poetry often mentions this plant with purple blossoms 


If you k ow of other words for purple please contribute via the comments box.
